What is Workzone?

Workzone is a web-based tool for project management and collaboration from Workzone in Norristown, PA, that contains a full array of the features needed for project management. It's hub is the project dashboard, which provides a platform for team communication and tracking tasks over time as they progress towards completion. An automated to-do list can be sent to each user. Alerts flag issues nearing a critical moment or events of which team members need be aware. Templates classify projects and save time, task dependencies keep events happening in the proper order. The central dashboard allows team members to view new project requests, and the familiar Gantt chart organizes projects and their events over time. Workload reports see that tasks are assigned to the personnel best positioned to take them on. Furthermore it includes a calendar, document uploading and sharing capability, assigning permissions, email integration, a discussion board, and other features.

Live unlimited support is available to all customers, a demo is available as well. Pricing is variable.

Pros
  • Adding new project is very simple.
  • Creating template is very simple.
  • Filter option was very nice when I wanted to see who was working on what.
  • Adding new user and editing there preferences was very smooth.
  • I did like the fact that emails went out letting you know a project was hitting its due date.
  • Adding as many task as I wanted was great.
  • Adding sub-task to task was also a great feature.
Cons
  • The biggest issue I had with WorkZone was setting up dates for a project. I could not have more than one task per date day if the task took more than 8 hours. This does not work since I had about 6 employees working on one task that did not take more than a day to complete, and each employee had about 4 hours of work for their task. But I could not give them all the same due date because WorkZone automatically changes my fixed dates that I setup for the project.
  • Marking up an image with comments never worked.
  • Calendar was not populating all the task.
Likelihood to Recommend
I would recomend it to a small business looking to stay organized.

Pros
  • WorkZone provides a clear, easy-to-manage method for organizing projects by task. You can set deadlines for each individual task to be completed and have alerts sent to you when deadlines approach. It is a great way to stay on top of the small tasks that help complete a larger project successfully!
  • I love the fact that WorkZone allows different levels of access to projects. This way, management can have full access to all employees' work across projects and even across disciplines, while limiting the access that employees have. This only makes sense, seeing that someone in Business Development, say, does not need to be getting reminders about the Finance projects approaching. It helps employees focus on their tasks alone, while allowing management to maintain a grasp on all projects/tasks at hand.
  • WorkZone has the wonderful feature of being able to output to an external calendar (Outlook, Google, etc.). I live by my calendar, so having upcoming deadlines for tasks and projects lined up next to my meetings significantly helps me prioritize and manage my time well throughout the week.
Cons
  • Entering dates for individual tasks became cumbersome after a while. If I wanted tasks to happen sequentially (say, 4 tasks over a period of one month, thus 1 every week), I would still have to enter each date individually. I would greatly appreciate a function that would automatically calculate and enter sequential dates for multiple tasks.
  • The Setup menu can be slightly confusing, if users do not pay attention to which workspace they are working in. To reach a site level setup menu, you must be viewing All Workspaces. If you are working in an individual workspace and click Setup, it will take you to the setup menu for that workspace alone. It would be nice if the Setup button always took users to the site level setup, and let them navigate to the specific workspace, if they wish to do so.
  • As far as I have seen, if you post a document for review by your team members, and someone comments on it, you must navigate back to the individual document you posted to see your team members' notes. I wish there was an easier way to see all comments from the project page, without having to navigate to the task and then to the document.
Likelihood to Recommend
WorkZone is most suited for organizations that have not used a project management software before. It is a no-frills system that gets the job done. It is best for those groups that are looking to implement a project management platform that is a blend between social task management systems and complex project management software. Those who are looking for a complex, detailed system should look elsewhere.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
WorkZone was used at my previous job across the entire organization to help with project management between various departments and our clients. It helped communicate schedule changes and what each of us needed to accomplish on a particular day and notify people when a task was complete so the next step could be started.
Pros
  • WorkZone is good at basic project management like scheduling and time management.
  • The software can be set to send you a daily email with the list of the tasks that you need to get done for that day.
  • Workzone allows the admin for the account to pick and choose which clients/projects can be seen by each person with an account, which allows each user to focus on the projects that they are involved in without being distracted by other things.
Cons
  • Time management has room for improvement by allowing time to be estimated by an admin so when you are putting in actual time there is a comparison to keep you on point.
  • Your task list does not detail what the project name is so the project name has to be included next to the task, so you have to manually include the project name in the task name.
  • For safety there was an automatic log off, but it was every 15 minutes of idleness which becomes annoying when you are using it constantly throughout the day.
  • Invoicing to multiple vendors, as one would do at an ad agency, is not user friendly or possible in some instances.
  • You cannot view multiple tasks from different projects in one list, so to check schedules and cross things off you have to back out to the main list for a client and then go back into another project which can be cumbersome.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think WorkZone is a great program for companies with simpler project management scenarios. It is not as well fitted for advertising agencies and how they operate internally and with clients.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are currently using Workzone in our company for scheduling the project team to work on different projects and to manage our time allocated to each client project. We break down each project within Workzone and allocate tasks to interns to better manage our time as a company. Workzone helps us look to the future with our current work load.
Pros
  • Manage who is working on each project.
  • Manage time spent on each project.
  • Allocate tasks to team members.
Cons
  • If a project is put on hold by the client, Workzone sends me notifications that I am approaching a deadline that is no longer applicable. There needs to be a "on hold" button.
  • Sometimes it is hard to forecast a few months out with projects, so I can only use the program for weekly projections.
  • In my industry, there are daily fires we have to put out per say, that were not accounted for in the program. At that point I dont have time to update the schedule, because it is a moving target.
Likelihood to Recommend
I would like Workzone to offer more options for time management and a better tracking system for managing the project team. With Workzone, I am relying on everyone in the company to stay current with their scheduling, or the system falls apart. If I need an intern to help me out on a deadline and other colleagues have not updated their schedules, the information I am given on their availability is not accurate.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use WorkZone across the entire organization to manage all custom projects for our clients. We also use it as a way to manage our advisory service clients, as there are tasks we perform each and every month for each account. It helps to keep projects moving along at a determined pace so that we can deliver drafts to clients according to our agreement.
Pros
  • The to-do list gives a great overview of tasks do, keeping me on track for the day and allowing me to prioritize easily.
  • It's a great way to move projects along between different members of our work team and we're able to customize by placing comments in the notes section of each task.
  • Email reminders help to move things along when other duties take us away from WorkZone. Despite using it daily, sometimes we need a reminder to check in on a project!
  • It's easy to customize templates if a task or group of tasks need to be added to a particular project or multiple similar projects. This makes making changes faster!
Cons
  • I'd like to have additional features where we can add URL's and contact information for each project. This way, folks could go to one place to get all of the information for one project.
  • The overall visual impact of WorkZone could be improved. Nothing too busy, but the ability to color code notes (highlighting, etc.) would be helpful to draw attention to urgent items.
  • Making WorkZone more intuitive may assist folks - pop-ups regarding dependencies, simpler explanations when trying to build projects and mistakes are made, etc.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think it's a good tool for managing written and multi-media projects. Since I have only used WorkZone with one organization I am not sure it would work for all types of business.
